“Cool Down and Work Through Anger is an excellent book for helping children understand this unpleasant but normal emotion. The book takes an evidence-based approach which is recommended in the early childhood field. When their teacher reads this book, children will learn that feeling angry is perfectly normal but that hurting somebody because you are angry is not acceptable. The book gives very helpful strategies for helping children deal with anger.”
